Hi Kreighzee, it's CaramelPup again with another Critique. I saw your general and thought you deserved a fair critique, so here we go!

The Image:First, Femme Flare's design is gorgeous. The peach orange and navy blue play off each-other perfectly, neither looking too far pronounced or clashing. It's known that orange and blue are complementary colours, as their at opposite ends of the colour wheel, so I think the colours used work really well.The inclusion of the bandages looks cool as it breaks apart the otherwise solid navy coat of Flare, making the character stand out more and ultimately giving her more character.The goggles are a cute accessory and give the character even more personality.The dark circles around Femme Flare's eyes emphasise the pure contrast between the white of the eye and the darkness of the coat, making the green iris' 'pop-out' and gives the eyes a soulful but bold feel.Her expression in both poses shows her strong and dominant personality, as well as presenting possible character flaws which are necessary to make a good character.Femme Flare's cutie-mark is unique and works very well with her passion/talent, which is to stand against sexism for fillies and mares.

Description: From the Description, it is clear that Femme Flare is much like the realistic women of today which stand for women's rights and regulations shown by this specifc piece 'dislikes: sexism'. However, the description also show's Femme Flare to not like 'taking things seriously' showing that she is a fun and cheery character and not just one dimensional. The description could have more information on her past and such, but as the description shows, it already contains the basic information needed so I can understand, although the amount of information already shown gives us a good drift as to what the character is about and what she's like.

Conclusion:I can understand why certain 'individuals' don't like her element being 'feminism' because it brings up the theme of feminism which still hasn't stopped to this day, and including it into a world like MLP which is so against predigest and such would be 'insulting' to the franchise. However, a individual pony should not be ridiculed for their element nor their talent and anyone who does is very simple minded.

Your OC is well-done design which is unique and new; has a good, fleshed out character which doesn't fit into the norm of MLP OC's being either flawless or completely flawed.

I gave you a 5/5 for visual, as your visual representation of her looks amazing and brilliant as usual.I gave you a 4.5/5 because of the overall appearance and colour-scheme because although it's a good colour-scheme and I won't change it, you have used orange on multiple occasions and it would be more interesting to see some more colour, although I don't see it as an issue but am aware that others would.I gave you a 5/5 for technique because both the presentation of the poses are clear and flawless and the description is simple but to the point.I gave you a 4/5 for impact because it's not just one of those images that really 'strikes' you after seeing your previous works. Don't get me wrong, all your work is amazing and beautiful and original, but seeing a similar format for multiple character bio's can get old for some.

Good work Kreighzee, I hope this is a better critique that you'd be happy with. I understand the reason so people hate works like these but hell, what's the world without idiots who can't see past their own likes/dislikes?

My Celestia , this has got to be on of the most amazing OCs my eyes have laid on.i love her design , talent , and everything! I hope that you don't get to many hating comments , trust me in the pony fandom we need more OCs like this. Good job can't wait to see more ponies! Also you deserve another watcher!

- You may not ask your watchers to vote for your character- Please do not make a journal or poll about being nominated- Do not snoop around and try to find out WHO nominated you, I will announce who nominated who when announcing the winner.

Good thing you made Femme Flare to take down these morons, she was made for just those reasons. Lol and then they get their little boy pants in a twist. I'm actually smiling reading those comments. All they serve is to be amusing, truly pathetic, and a waste of breath. Bronies intimate young girls this is directing to because they want to have their fun. Then you get questions as to why she would fit in the pony world? That's exactly what little girls need, teach them the absolute rights and wrongs in the already feminist based world. But you woudnt suspect these simpletons to figure it out. So lets ignore and watch and laugh and lets not waste are breath because that's what they always will be. Good job! I feel like making a feminist sister to yours!

Wow, people are hating on this purely because she's a feminist? We're flooded by Rainbow Dash's long lost sister/brother "OCs" and one of the most originally designed characters I've seen is being slammed because some guys who watch a cartoon for little girls made by a feminist don't like feminism

Anyway, LOVE her design. Her colours are gorgeous and the voice fits so well! You always come up with such awesome OCs

It's like they feel threatened by a non-real character. Next thing you know they'll get pissy at Tony Stark for stealin' their women.

Besides, have men in the old times ever been the victims of sexual/verbal/emotional/mental abuse and rape besides the minority involved in crimes and the children from the church? No, it's always been the women, because we weren't allowed to speak or even look another man in the eye, cause f we did we'd be classed as witches. Fuck-you dude-bros, the rest of the world has grown up without you.

You rejected my critique: fair enough, I suppose it wasn't a critique of the art itself. I do like her design. Though, is that patch around one eye a shadow, eyeliner, or a patch on her coat? If it's the last, it seems odd that she doesn't have patches over the rest of her body as well.

Anyway.

I am going to repeat the question I asked in my critique: Why would a pony, from Friendship is Magic, have a special talent of feminism? Has Equestria ever been shown to be anything other than completely gender-equal?

I mean, the rulers are all princesses. The upper crust is shown to be a balance between mares and stallions. The captain of the guard is a stallion, but the pro-stunt team best fliers in Equestria are balanced between mares and stallions, and their leader is a mare. And of course the greatest heroes in the the land are all six of them female.

It just...doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Isn't FiM showing a completely egalitarian world good for gender equality? How do the mares need anypony to stand up for them?

I understand your critique on her design which you did very fairly.BUTMy Little Pony was created by Feminism. Lauren Faust wanted to give girls a show that wasn't the typical pink and sparkly with corny stories of friendship, she wanted to give girls a quality show that showed them they could love other things and be what they want.

Yes, the balance may seem unfair, but the show was made to empower girls and a female ruler and heroes does just that. You can complain about how things are unbalanced but this is a child's show for girls. It's great boys are able to love it just as much but you can't recreate the show just to fulfill their wants. I truly believe having a character who's sole talent is to stand up for their femininity would actually be welcomed.

No, no, no, you misunderstand: I agree that FiM is very feminist from an outside perspective, very empowering, etc. The thing is though that in-universe, I don't see why feminism would exist. This isn't about the fandom, this is about me having a hard time seeing how this OC could exist within the universe created by Faust, when she has a special talent that represents a completely alien concept to the world itself.

In other words, in a world as egalitarian as FiM, where there has been no indication that gender has ever been an issue, why would it ever even occur to a pony in the first place to stand up for their femininity?

I get what you mean, but to be fair, we've only seen what things are like in Equestria. We don't know if the outside world is as accepting of femininity, especially given Garble's crack about Celestia being the "namby pamby pony princess".
